Hello guys, I recently bought a 2004 explorer 4.0 with the 5r555 transmission. My old '99 threw a rod on a sad note. :( Anyhow since I've had this truck I've noticed that 1st through 3rd gear seems to sometimes shift okay, and other times slightly jerk into gear. But yesterday I had the radio...

Smh, replaced starter, and lead wire. and magically, she stopped blowing fuses, and cranks right up. Its odd though because when i took the old starter off, it smelled really burned inside. i guess the motor burned up, and maybe shorted the battery and possibly the fuel pump. all is well in...

This is awesome man! Thanks!

Ok so i replaced the battery terminals this morning, cleaned the wires with a toothbrush and some battery cleaner, installed new terminals to the post and still nothing. Then I looked at my fuse schematic that i have for the truck. I popped the ignition fuse out and whaddaya know! The fuse had a...

So this is old and I feel silly for replying to this. But I fixed the problem about a year ago. Turns out there is a purge valve solenoid thing in the front left fender of the truck. Some how that got cracked. And basically since its connected to the canister, gas fumes was escaping it and...

My dome lights come on, the radio works (though it is aftermarket), i hear the chimes, but my 1999 ford explorer v8 won't crank! It won't turn over or anything! It has a new battery, i cleaned the terminals, i had the starter tested tuesday and it checked out fine. I had to drop the fuel tank...

Come on, post some pictures! I'm thinking of this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/02-05-Ford-Explorer-16-chrome-alloy-wheels-rims-_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQhashZitem20b5a72001QQitemZ140486582273QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories or something of the like. So i want to see how they look

Ok so this weekend I posted about my upper plenum being shot, and well....cracked. anyhow, I have another plenum for this truck, the only thing is that I believe its the one with the internal egr. And I took the old upper intake off and noticed that some of the vaccum lines are placed...

well everything seems fine except when it idles bad, acceleration and all is good. And there's not like an actual hole on the plenum, but when the truck is running, and if i put my finger to where the ear was glued back to, i can hear a hissing noise, don't feel anything, but hear a hissing...

yes it is, will it kill my engine? what could happen, i do plan on doing this soon the intake is like in my backseat.

I have my 1999 ford with the 5.0 as most of you know. Anyhow, I'm having idling issues with it. When I first crank it up I notice that it idles fine then it goes below 1 down to half way and then the truck sounds like its stumbling. And I changed the O-rings on the injectors, and when I was...

You think I could get it welded back together? It's cast Aluminum

I'm looking into buying another upper intake manifold since my old one has cracked, and was wanting to know what years could I pull from? I seen a 1997 intake and was wondering if it'd work on my V8 since it was a V8 too, they look similar. Any thoughts?

So I found the problem, turns out that the top o ring on the front injector has cracks on it. It's at the very front on the left. Now is it possible for me to change the o ring out without going through hassle of taking the intake off? By the way this is a 5.0V8. If it is can an explanation be...

Is it recommended to disconnect the negative terminal to reset the computer while doing the job? Is it possible this would fix the problem if I did it now since i didn't at first?

another noob question, where are the vac lines on my 5.0 engine truck? and wouldn't there be a sound like a hissing noise?

As some of you may know, this past summer I've had some problems with gas mileage and gas fumes. Well I fixed the problem! Turns out the O rings was needing replacing. But with replacing the O rings, I was automatically obligated to replace the upper intake manifold gasket. Now that I've done...

Would this cause decrease in gas milage?

Ok so i know this topic is aging, but i thought i'd let you guys know that the smell went away for a while but NOW it's back! I put teflon tape around the threads of the connector on the radiator for the tranny cooling lines, and while the tranny fluid stopped leaking (Yay!) i still smell gas...

Ok great news!!! I found the problem, I think. It turns out that when I had my radiator replaced in January, the mechanic failed to put Teflon tape around the threads of the pipe that goes in the top and bottom of the left side of the radiator. This is causing tranny fluid to leak, which in turn...

Ok guys, so things took a turn for the worse (I think). I looked at the gas filler neck and checked for cracks. Took the tire off, and jacked her up. The good news is that there aren't any cracks! Now on to the bad news. While I had the truck up in the air two of my buddies pulled up who does...

I took the gas cap off to take a look, and all I see is the little flap that goes over the hole, no cracks. Was I looking in the right place, or is that not the neck? Also how hard is it to change the gas tank filler neck?

I've had the heater core changed (lol not coil) And its been checked. Where is the weatherstripping? I know a dump question, I'm still learning though

I have noticed for the past few months that my front driver floorboard has been getting wet when it rains. At first I thought it was my A/C system since it was replaced along with the heater coil. But my dad and I found that had nothing to do with it. I don't know if the rain is coming from the...

Ok I will check in the morning, and let you know what I find. Could this also cause a decrease in gas mileage? Oh Btw, is this something that I need to worry about doing very soon? I'm a college student and just wanted to know if this is something very serious.
